Over 30 years of retirement, Ramsey would collect as much as $622,286, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Ramsey received $13,080 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Ramsey will have already received $54,720 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
